I've played the game (and the original), and I was enormously pleased with FF III DS. The touch ups for the stoy are nice (the main characters I mean), the 3D looks good on the DS. And the music is, in my humble little opinion, GODLY! I know people disagree with me on this but... Headphones do miracles with this one. The story is obviously NES, but FF III had the best NES story anyway and the touch-ups they have given it make it pretty good.

If you love old-school, you're gonna love this. They kept everything as close to the original is possible. The difficulty is a small bit nerfed down compared to the NES, but it's still a relatively good challenge. Certainly harder than the more recent FF's.

There's only one thing that annoys me and that's how the Final Boss died. They kept everything like the original, but couldn't do the death-animation of the Final Boss right? AARGH, SE what were you thinking!
